Troubleshooting Criteo Marketing Solution

I cannot fetch more than 100,000 rows from Criteo Marketing Solution

The Criteo Marketing Solution API limits the maximum number of returned rows per request to 100,000.

To resolve this issue, instead of collecting all your data in one fetch, change your datastream settings and collect your data over several smaller fetches, e.g. using shorter date ranges.
